1. Defects, renormalization and conformal field theory
Sammanfattning : Defects in quantum field theories appear in many different contexts and are of great physical interest. Among other things, defects are used to describe the Kondō effect in condensed matter, confinement in quantum chromodynamics, Rényi entropy in quantum information and cosmic strings in string theory.

2. Conformal Field Theory and D-branes
Sammanfattning : The main topic of this doctoral thesis is D-branes in string theory, expressed in the language of conformal field theory. The purpose of string theory is to describe the elementary particles and the fundamental interactions of nature, including gravitation as a quantum theory. LÄS MER
3. Strings, Conformal Field Theory and Noncommutative Geometry
Sammanfattning : This thesis describes some aspects of noncommutative geometry and conformal field theory. The motivation for the investigations made comes to a large extent from string theory. This theory is today considered to be the most promising way to find a solution to the problem of unifying the four fundamental interactions in one single theory. LÄS MER
4. Boundary states in conformal field theory
Sammanfattning : This licentiate thesis discusses boundary states in conformal field theories related to WZW (Wess-Zumino-Witten) models. These models are used as building blocks to describe the compact extra dimensions of certain string theories. The focus of the first chapter is to give a flavor of conformal field theory. LÄS MER
5. Topics on D-branes and Holography
Sammanfattning : We discuss various aspects of D-branes in string theory and holography in string theory and loop quantum gravity.One way to study D-branes is from a microscopic perspective, using conformal field theory techniques. For example, we investigate the question of how D-branes can be introduced into orbifolded theories. LÄS MER
